Shigeki,
Beautiful work. I remember this piece. Amazing what technology is able to accomplish these days. I do prefer your original - it just feels more alive / organic.

Scott,
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune.
It was great to hear your opinion about AI.
AI's arrangements and mixes are certainly amazing.
However, for now I would like to arrange my own new songs myself.
I am very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.

It was great to hear your opinion about Suno.
But, it's a scary time to think that AI can create music.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.

Chay,
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune.
I agree with your opinion about Suno AI.
I think I should still do the work myself to to maintain my originality.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.

The AI version is a more polished production, but t he original retains its humanness, flaws. I suppose the AI is like hiring a producer for your song. If one wants to use AI to have help them with a production, I have no qualms with that. My beef is when someone uses AI to write the song itself and tries to pass it off as something its not.

Happy New Year Shigeki. Both songs are lovely. AI is a pretty amazing piece of software. While AI can create beautiful pieces of music and videos I feel closer to the originals interpretations . I think it more an idea that the music came from someone's heart or soul. Wishing you and your family a safe and prosperous year..

The Suno version is lovely - perhaps a little bland or generic.
Have you read the contract? You've agreed to let it train on your work AND SUNO can't guarantee that the song - or something VERY similar to it - won't appear as someone else's property in the future.
Cheers

rayc,
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I really appreciate your advice about Suno.
I've heard that Suno has been trained by listening to hundreds of thousands of songs.
So I think the occasions of copying my songs by Suno are very low, but I understand there is certainly the risk you taught me.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Hello Shigeki Adachi.
This is stunning! I remember the song from when you first posted it.
After listening to the original, it is clear to me that your arrangement and production have provided a very solid foundation for Suno to use its whizz-bang AI technology to create an advanced orchestration of the song. I like both versions. With the Suno version, my ears tell me that there is an element of polish to the final presentation that would be very hard for an average home-music enthusiast to achieve. As always, I am highly impressed with your work. Now I'm highly impressed with what you have managed to achieve using Suno.
